Concerto for flute No 5 in E Minor (Op. 19)
E. Müller: Concerto for flute No 5 in E minor (Op. 19) was written in 1801 when Müller held principal flute position in the Gewandhaus Orchestra.

Overall Müller composed ten (or eleven) flute concertos from which the E minor concerto is the most popular one.
